Hello all,

I know this isnt supported here, but I wanted to see if any of you have seen this. I installed vb ad mgmt 4 and I am not able to use my adsense code for some reason. When I go in the ad mgmt area, paste my adsense code into the adcode area, click save, it gives me a page cannot be displayed every time. I can put anything else i want to in that box, but not adsense. What gives?

I emailed the contact on the red tyger site, and posted on vb dot org days ago, no response.

Oh, I also tried the mod called Google Adsense Postbit Integration, becaue i am really just looking for postbit ads right now anyway, and it does the exact same thing. When I paste the adsense code in, Page cannot be displayed.

I really need some ads I have tried through IE (6) and Firefox. Yall have any idea why this would be?

Here is a screenshot of what I am doing, I assume its correct. It will not do a preview either, just always hangs at Updating. But when i put code in there just to point to an image banner, it works just fine. It just dont like the adsense.

I don't use this mod but I've seen a few people talking about it. I'm sure someone will speak up and offer some support

Thanks, I just added a screenshot to make sure its not me misunderstanding the concept.

pictures are helpful

well there is 171 pages of replies on that mod thread, and I cant find a single one that states this problem. So i am thinking it must be related to my template and maybe the changes i have made to it for mods etc.. I just have no idea where to start correcting it :arg:

Hmmm... I'm using 3.14 and can display my google ads just fine.

Did you add the needed info into your postbit area?
$postbit_advertisement

Maybe you simply placed it wrong? You could try moving that around a bit.

Actually I did not. I was thinking you didnt have to do that part, if you were using the automatic insertion, but i guess thats two different things??

All I did was install the mod, enable it, and tried to paste the code and it wont let me. I could try adding the postbit code, if you know where it should go. I am trying to enable it to show adds every 5th post, and I have it set to 5 in the admincp.

thanks

I'm not sure about the new version. But try this; In your template you're using.

Find <!-- post $post[postid] popup menu --> and paste $postbit_advertisement above it in your postbit & postbit_legacy templates.

Well... I just looked at the new version and it says to remove that, because it will cause the ads to be displayed twice. I'd check in your template, or look into the 4.0 version of the mod to see how they're doing that. You can always try to put that in there, and remove it if it doesn't work.

I think that worked!! I modied the 2 postbit templates and then went and pasted the code, and woooot it showed the preview, and shows in my forum now! Thanks a ton!!!

Edited ***Disregard the below, I found it. I added <center> at the beginning, and </center> at the end, and that works.***

Can you center it somehow do you know, its not quite as long as my forum is. If I could either center it, or add one more row of ads to it, it would be just right.

Have you allowed html parsing in posts ?

[ctfortner]

Well, I am happy to have it working for the postbit, but I am not having any luck with the others. I have tried navbar, forumbit, and threadbit, they all do the same as the postbit was, not allowing me to save it.

For navbar it says to add $navbar_advertisement just below <!-- / nav buttons bar -->, I did that first, then added my adsense code, doesnt work.

For forumbit I followed this

Paste at the bottom of your forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post templates

and then added adsense code, doesnt work. I did the same thing for threadbit as well, added to the bottom as it states.

Any ideas on those?

Thanks

[ctfortner]

I am not sure what this is exactly, how could I check that?

my board go completely white when i attempted to use this mod..

[ctfortner]

Still havent got anywhere on this, if anyone happens to know anything else about it. The mod says supported, and I am sure he gets hammererd with questions, but mine have never been answered, so I dunno..

[Yogesh Sarkar]

Where do you want to place the ads? If you want I will help you out with it.

[ctfortner]

Great, thanks! I guess I missed the email on this, sorry for the delay. I am mainly trying to get some ads in the threadbit, and maybe the navbar.


I know there are other ways to hack it, but i wanted to manage it all through this mod if possible, just so i dont have to make manual template changes. You have experience with it?
